Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time
The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps used for thi\
s unit is about 2000 hours.
●The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of lamps and\
 we do not provide any guarantee for this figure. The
lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions\
.
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deter\
ioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with  a
new lamp (lamp unit) when the accumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900\
 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the
lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color ton\
e abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You
can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to the “L\
amp Time” item of the “Information” menu. ( ☞ Pages 22,
25)
 When lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours
The [LAMP] indicator starts to blink.
The “Warning” and “Lamp replacement” messages will be displa\
yed
on the projected screen with the “Warning” word blinking.
● Press the [EXIT] button to clear the display.
However, the same “Warning” and “Lamp replacement” messages
will be displayed again after 1 hour.
When the unit is switched to the standby mode or turned off after
the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours, it cannot be switched
back to the projection mode again. In this case, replace with a
new lamp (lamp unit) and reset the lamp time (
☞ Page 30).
 When the lamp usage time exceeds 2010 hours
The 
unit  quits the projection mode (operating mode) and switches
into the cool down mode.
● The [LAMP] and [OPERATE] indicators will start blinking.
The projection mode (operating mode) cannot be restored until a
new lamp (lamp unit) is replaced and the lamp time reset
(☞ Page 30).
 When the lamp usage time exceeds 1000 hours
A message indicating “1000 h” will be displayed on the screen.
● Press the [EXIT] button to clear the display.
 When the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours
The [LAMP] indicator lights up.
 When starting projection after lamp usage time exceeds 1900
hours
The “Lamp replacement” message will be displayed on the screen.
● Press the [EXIT] button to clear the display.

Replacing the Lamp
About Lamp Replacement
●If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace \
the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit
to a place large enough to perform the work.
● Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunc\
tion may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an
old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp b\
lowout, thus leading to 
unit malfunction.
Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries duri\
ng lamp unit exchange.
● Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The t\
emperature of the lamp unit is still high and this
may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replac\
ement.
● Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet \
while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on. Replacing
a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or elect\
ric shocks.

2Loosen the screws on the lamp unit and
lift up the handle
●Loosen the 2 screws with a  ª screwdriver.
3Pull out the lamp unit
4Insert the new lamp unit until it is fully in
5Tighten the screws of the lamp unit and
close the handle
●Fasten the 2 screws with a  ª screwdriver.
6Attach the lamp cover and fasten the
screws
●Fasten the 2 screws with a  ª screwdriver.
Caution
Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp directly with
your hand or stain it. Touching it with a bare hand may
dirty the surface, hence shortening the lamp life, causing
marked performance deterioration such as darkened
screens, lamp blowout as well as malfunction.
Note
When fitting the lamp cover, insert the left end (with 2 claws)
of the lamp cover into the unit, followed by ensuring that
the protruding part on the reverse side of the lamp cover
fits snugly into the hole of the unit.
As this protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting may lead to
failure in turning on the power.

be inaccurate, lamp performance may deteriorate and lamp blowout may
occur.
